Transportation info sessions wrap up this weekend

How can The City best keep
Calgarians on the move? Calgarians have another opportunity to share their
thoughts as The City’s transportation information sessions wrap up this weekend.

Senior staff with The City’s
Transportation department will be at Northland Village Mall October 20 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to share information on
major transportation-related projects and chat about priorities for
infrastructure spending over the next ten years. We also want to hear from Calgarians on what
transportation changes or improvements you feel would most benefit you, your
family and your daily commute.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve
spoken with close to 500 Calgarians and collected hundreds of written comments during
sessions at Bankers’ Hall, Chinook Centre, Sunridge Mall and Southcentre. About
120 people have used our interactive program to share how they would prioritize
capital funding over the next decade.

We’ve talked with Calgarians about
projects and services across the city—from the Airport Tunnel and future LRT
connections to the airport, to road construction and maintenance. We’ve heard
from people who want more on-street bike lanes and those who want separate
cycling facilities. We’ve also heard from transit riders about specific bus routes,
ticket prices, parking fees and safety ideas.

We’ve updated websites where
possible to include answers to questions you have asked. We’re also compiling
every comment from our feedback boards and are working our way through them to
see where changes and improvements can be made.

Be sure to stop by Northland
Village Mall this Saturday to share your ideas on Transportation in Calgary.
Your suggestions and comments help us as we work to keep Calgarians on the
move.
